I know I'm a bit behind, but I've been trying to resolve hosting issues with my little website, and I'll also need to take down my Dropbox mirror. (The mirror hosted on SilverDollarSolutions.com will still be available, and another will be brought online within a week or so to take the Dropbox mirror's place.) Until that's done, don't expect too much in the way of updates.

Have you thought of using your Google ID for files you want to distribute.

Login to your ID at Drive.Google.com

Create a folder

upload your files that you want others to access (do not let Google modify to its format)

Set the rights; EITHER on the folder you created or on the file(s) you uploaded.

On the forum or anywhere on the internet, make the URL to the file-folder available.

Simple. (Excepting for the likes of IBM, Google is the fastest transfer site in the world.)

Please don't mis-interpret my message as to be used as a REPO site. I am not. But, for some PETs/SFSs/documentation, this can be an ideal solution and helper.

The Alternative Sourced-Based Installer works magnificently in Slack 5.4 PAE k3.4.17, where the Oracle run files that worked satisfactorily on earlier Puppies fail miserably - leading to hardware freeze.

Nice to know, and I'll keep it in mind. Otherwise, I've now set up a dedicated website with its own mirror of all my packages. I can update this one by hand and directly, with an FTP upload of the revised files as needed, so it shouldn't be an issue any more.

Thank you for the thought, though!

Happy to help! I'll be uploading some proper packages for Slacko 5.4 and a couple of other Puppies either later tonight or early tomorrow, too. I've been a bit too busy with work and family and paying for a replacement car lately, but I'll try to catch up with Puppy's inexorable march of progress very soon! Good to hear that my universal x86 installer is working well, though, even on puppies that I haven't actually tested myself yet!

Sorry! I hope you all can understand, and have abundant patience!

perhaps I'm late to the party... but have you ever just considered setting up a sourceforge account? What you are dealing with is OSS, so it'd be allowed._________________

VirtualBox 4.2.6 packages are completed, including some for the newer Slacko and Precise releases, but probably won't be uploaded until tomorrow afternoon. I'll be back to update the thread soon!

Not a bad idea, actually; I'd just assumed that they only allowed that for original or forked code, i.e., not mere package maintenance. As things stand now, though, it's no longer an issue, but it's certainly something to keep in mind. Thanks for the interest and the suggestion!

Fully updated all mirrors and website, etc., to VirtualBox 4.2.6! I also added a combined SFS4 module for most Precise, Slacko and Lucid releases, as well as Puppy 431 and the latest Quirky/Racy/Wary releases.

(There was also some minimal reorganization. For instance, the NLS packages' files are no longer distinct between the x86 and amd64 releases, so it's now a single, properly agnostic package.)

The source of my confusion was that I didn't start browsing from the links in the first post. Instead I started browsing the mirror site, which I landed onto from another thread. So I wasn't aware that silverdollarsolutions.com is a mirror of theasterisk.tk, and since most other download links on the mirror site do work - bar the one I reported - I came back to this forum post to look for help.

To add to the confusion even more, there's http://theasterisk.droppages.com/ which looks very similar to theasterisk.tk - but isn't quite the same.

Yeah, my hosting has been a mess for the last few months. I finally went to paid hosting- like I should have done so very long ago- and things have been pretty good since. The issue in question (see above) may actually have been that the server SilverDollarSolutions.com uses doesn't let anyone download SFS files for some odd reason, so I have to zip them, and I may simply have forgotten to do that before. Sorry!

Anyway, I'm still in the process of fully uploading a mirror of my packages to my new host. My Internet connection at the moment is either the WiFi at work or at one of several fast food places or a diner, so it's been very slow progress at times.

As for Droppages.com- the darn thing would go weeks without updating itself as it was supposed to, so I just canned that, but I couldn't get the service to stop hosting my site for a while, even though I had been dropped from their service. As of a couple of weeks ago, though, "theasterisk.droppages.com" ceased to be. www.theasterisk.tk is it- just check the website button associated with my account on these forums if in doubt!

My packages are mainly dot-pets, but there is a combined SFS4 module available for several 32-bit Puppy releases as well. (Most Precise, Slacko, and Lucid releases are supported, as well as Puppy 431 and the most recent releases of Quirky, Wary and Racy.)
